How to Repair Flashlight Switch (Fix Tailcap Switch)

Hello, Everyone!

in This Instructable, I will share with you How to Fix the Mechanical Switch in Flashlights (this method Should Work on Most flashlights except the Old Models like Maglite )

I will demonstrate the Repair on a Skywolfeye Zoomable Torch

ok, Let's Begin :)

*The Switch in this torch is Press-fitted, if The Switch in your Torch is Screwed in Then unscrew it first, Then pull the Rubber Cap

if your Switch Does not Have Holes on the Sides Then use Something very thin

like a flat head screwdriver to wedge between the Side Crack of the switch (But Be careful not to cut yourself)

Use a metal File or Sand Paper to Remove any Rust from The Surface of the Conductors.

but don't file it too much, Just Scratch The Surface.

Before the Repair The Resistance was 13 ohm, After the Repair, it Became in the Range of 0.01-0.1 OHM , Which means it became as good as new.

it Should Work :)
